4.7s get pretty good mileage?!

I was checking out the 4.7 auto CC Daks yesterday,and I was surprised to
see them advertised for 15 city and 20 highway,and that`s with a 3.92
rear! That`s about what my 3.9 RC 4x4 auto gets,with 60 less horsepower!
I originally wanted a 318 when I got my truck last September,but I only
found one that was a basic 4x4 sport,auto and air,and they would not
budge on the price.And I was reluctant to get the new 4.7 and especially
the new transmission.But they seem to be fairly reliable?? Anyone here
have a RC 4.7 auto 4x4 with a 3.92? How`s the mileage? I mainly got my
3.9 truck for reliability,and because I thought the price was decent.I
knew the drivetrain had been around since the late eighties.I may
eventually get a 4.7 Dak.I read every 4.7 post I see here with interest.
